I upgraded from TI 8 to TI 9. For now, I have created a BartPE disk with TI 8 plugin. However, I want to install TI 9 because I like the feature of the ability to automatically verify image after creating it.

Would it be possible for me to continue to use my BartPE disk in case I need to restore or do other operations outside of Windows and just use TI 9 inside of Windows. I have no need for the folder backup feature at least for now. Would there be any problems in doing this? Thanks for your help.

There should not be any problems with using Acronis True Image 8.0 plug-in for BartPE to restore a disk\partition images created using Acronis True Image 9.0.

Please also note that our Development Team is currently working on Acronis True Image 9.0 plug-in for BartPE and so it will be available at our web site in the near future, but exact time frame for this is not decided yet.

You can download my version of the BartPE plugin for True Image 8 at here.

You will need the True Image 8 plugin from the Acronis web site to get the necessary files. The help file in my plugin will tell you what files to add to the Acronis plugin. It will also give you clear instuctions on how to mount an image.

The plugin will work with full images created with True Image 9 as well. Files/Folders images created with True Image 9 will not work because the plugin uses TrueImage.exe from TI8.

Hello,
it is nice to hear that there is still a development for a TI 9 BartPE plugin.

I draw my conclusion to buy this software by the following points:

a) TrueImage is one of the best Imagingsoftware solutions as a testresult of the german ct computer magazine (1/2006) shows..
b) Acronis provides us with a BartPE plugin !

I hope that the new plugin for TI 9.0 is ready in the next weeks. I need the new features comming with TI9 on by BartPE CD.

I like to encourage you to continue this was. TI is a quite good product.

I have finally sorted out a bios problem, and at last have BartPE 31.10a booting OK with the Acronis plugin - however, if I check my Acronis Zone with 'Recover' it errors with "unable to see any images" . They do exist, as I also have the mustang TI9 plugin installed, and that sees the Zone ok.

Since your TI8 plugin exists, I assume someone else has actually checked Recovery from the Zone, and I wonder if this a problem others have reported?

The Acronis TI8 plugin should see images in the Secure Zone. Is there any chance your image was created with TI9 using the new "differential" option? If so, only the TI9 plugin will be able to see it. This would apply to images stored anywhere, not just the Secure Zone.

Hei mustang, thanks btw for the TI9 plugin, it works very well

Concerning use of the Acronis differential option, no I only ever do complete disk backups, usually from within XP where I have TI9 build 2337, but there might well be a backup in the Zone made both from an Acronis Rescue CD, and/or BartPE CD.

Btw, I was looking at using your TI8 zip file but am a little unsure whether its just to extract your zip file into the Acronis plugin folder, or do I also need to add these files you mention in the htm file?
C:\Program Files\Acronis\TrueImage\bootmenu.exe to
C:\pebuilder\plugin\Acronis\files\bootmenu.exe

That line comes up very early in the build process. I assume e:\I386\ is the source for the Windows files on your hard drive. Is it a folder created by your system manufacturer? If it is, there are probably limited permissions set for this directory. You may need to set permissions to this folder to everyone. The procedures can be different for WinXP Home and Pro.

You could also try to use a real Windows XP/SP2 CD as the source. This should eliminate this problem.

Sorry, but E: is my Windows XP Pro SP2 source CD. The file is there and is 262,144 Bytes long. After I try PEBUILDER, I do not see this directory....
C:\PEBUILDER3110A\BARTPE\I386\SYSTEM32\SETUPHIV

I see the SYSTEM32 DIR and a smaller setupreg.hiv with todays date is there! After I get the one error, the log shows that it does add all the inf files etc. I wonder if there is a way I can copy my file on the CD to bartbe area on C: but still wonder why I do not have a ....SYSTEM32\SETUPHIV directory. I have been trying to create a BartPE (or reatogo) cd for 3 months now and can not get past this issue.

3. There is no SETUPHIV Directory or file.
4. There IS a setupreg.hiv file in C:\PEBUILDER3110A\BARTPE\I386\SYSTEM32, but it has todays date and is 139,264 Bytes.

Does any of this make sense? I can copy my i386 dir on the CD to my Hard Drive and I get the same error...faster. It does say that the setupreg.hiv is being used by another process but I have no idea what is loaded in the system to cause this. Also, I told it to create an ISO this time and it made no difference.

Some of it does. I end up with a small SETUPREG.HIV file in pebuilder\BartPE\I386\System32 after a build. The size will vary, in my case it is 416 KB. The part that does not make sense is the Access denied error. Do you have Administartor privledges on the machine you are building from?

Well!! Just for the heck of it I used TweakUI to add my Admin account to the Welcome screen. I only have one user on this system...me so the welcome screen never came up. Anyway, I logged in to admin and for the first time ever (on this system) I created the BartPE ISO. Will burn later. Something must be loading in my normal login that pebuilder does not like. More than likely, something must be using setupreg.hiv.

ISO is only 150 MB...somehow I expected it to be bigger.

Anyway, now I need to see if I can get TI9 to work, so this is now back On Topic!

Great. I will burn the ISO. I hope my unused admin account has enough on it to be of some use. I will then see what I can do about adding your TI9 plug in. Since I have never been this far before, I am not sure where to go next. I guess I will d/l it.

Thanks again,
Dave

P.S. Is that your website? Did you go to WPI

Paul, I just opened your help file! Boy do I have memories of Homecoming '64! I did not go to WPI but my best friend did and I tagged along! Had lots of good food at the Paxton Inn as well, but that was long ago!
